Heroes Hikes: Snowdon

Heroes Hikes are one-day treks held in scenic locations across the UK. You'll need to arrive by 8:00 AM for registration and a pre-hike briefing, with the hike starting around 8:45 AM.

You'll be walking as part of a group, supported by a team of experienced guides, so you can focus on enjoying the journey. There will be opportunities for short breaks along the way, and once you cross the finish line, you'll receive a well-earned completion medal!

We’ll provide tea and coffee on the morning of most hikes. However, due to the remote nature of Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike, we’re unable to offer this at those locations. We recommend bringing your own hot drink for these hikes.

We recommend having a hearty breakfast before the hike and bringing your own lunch along with plenty of snacks to keep your energy up throughout the day.

We recommend a minimum fundraising target of £200 per person across all your hikes. While aiming for £200 per hike would be fantastic, it’s not required.

Many fundraisers find that once they start, their momentum builds and they exceed their goals. Setting a realistic target makes fundraising feel more manageable, and you can always increase it if things go well!

If you reach £200 with time to spare, we’d love for you to keep going, and we’ll provide plenty of fundraising support along the way.

We’ve set a fundraising target of £200, as we believe it’s an achievable goal—many of our fundraisers even exceed it! To help you along the way, we’ll provide plenty of support and fundraising tools.

We encourage you to aim for the £200 target, but don’t worry—if you don’t quite reach it, you’ll still be able to take on the hike. Every pound you raise makes a difference, and we truly appreciate your efforts!

Heroes Hikes are all about having a great time. There's so much you can get out of the experience:

• Challenge yourself - feel a real sense of achievement. 
• Discover some of the UK’s most stunning hiking spots.
• Show your support for the Armed Forces community.
• Meet new friends, hear inspiring stories from our charity Ambassadors, and make memories!

For every Heroes Hike, we’ve got you covered with:

• A complete kit list to make sure you’ve got the hiking essentials.
• A training plan to get you ready for the day.
• Fundraising tips and advice.
• Our friendly Events Team, on hand to answer your questions.
• Expert guides leading the way and supporting you every step of the hike.

You can sign up for as many hikes as you want! We've grouped them into four exciting bundles: Three Peaks in Three Months, Best of British Countryside, Coastal Routes, and Historic Hikes. Why not challenge yourself to complete a set? Or mix and match your favourite locations.

If your dog is well behaved, kept on a lead at all times and is cleared up after; then they are welcome to join us. Livestock are kept in fields and mountains along the routes and the surrounding areas, as well as many hidden holes and cliffs, which can be extremely dangerous to a dog focused on chasing other animals (rabbits, birds, sheep, other dogs etc). Please keep your dog on a lead for this reason. Please also bring dog poo bags to clean up after your dog.

If you do decide to bring your dog, please let your Event Manager know. They will be in touch with you following your registration or you can email them on events@helpforheroes.org.uk.

Absolutely! You're welcome to set up a team fundraising page so everyone can contribute in one place, rather than managing multiple individual pages.
